Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Microlock retwist.

We recommend retwisting every 4–6 weeks for most clients, though timing depends on growth rate and desired neatness. Heavier hair or slower growth may stretch to 8 weeks; discuss a personalized schedule with your stylist during consultation.

When performed properly by a trained stylist, microloc retwists are gentle and designed to minimize tension. Avoid overly frequent manipulation and communicate any sensitivity; spacing appointments and using lightweight products reduces risk of breakage or thinning.

Session length depends on loc size, density, and length. Microlock retwists typically take 1.5 to 4 hours at Sinkor Beauty Salon. We’ll provide an estimated time when you book and accommodate scheduling needs for larger installations.

Wait 48–72 hours after a retwist to allow clips and styling to set and avoid loosening. When washing, use dilute shampoo, gently cleanse the scalp, and allow locs to air dry or sit under low heat to prevent frizz.

We use lightweight, non-flaking gels, nourishing natural oils, and water to twist new growth, plus soft clips to secure locs while drying. Product selection is customized to your hair’s porosity and scalp sensitivity for optimal hold and health.

Combining services is possible but depends on availability and procedure compatibility. Chemical treatments or coloring may require separate appointments. Tell us what you want when booking so we can plan timing, pricing, and ensure your microlocs receive proper care.
